higher levels.
The FIIs turned sellers once again in the cash and derivatives segments. However, the DIIs remained net buyers during
the week and were seen supporting the markets regularly. The breadth of the market remained positive amidst low
volumes.
The earnings season continued to be in line with expectations without any negative surprises. Crude oil prices inched
higher after a major crude pipeline from Canada to USA shut down and tightened supplies in the North American
markets. Global markets, too, remained positive. On the domestic front, after the Moody’s upgrade, the markets are
keenly watching S&P’s move. An upgrade could lead to more
momentum on the bourses. Believe it or not!

indicates that buyers are gaining strength. However, the ADX line continues to languish below 17, which indicates that
the current trend lacks strength and the markets are likely to turn choppy. The market sentiment remains positive.

needed momentum and the Nifty could test the previous

10400 remains a key resistance level for the Nifty. If the Nifty
succeeds in closing and sustaining above it, then a further up-
move is likely and it could test its previous historic high. On
the downside, if it slips below the 10270 level, then it is likely
to test the 10120 support level.
In the meanwhile, the markets will take cues from the
earnings season, global markets, Dollar-Rupee exchange rate and crude oil prices.

and medium enterprises (SMEs) and not the business itself. In fact, there is a hint of recovery all around as depicted by
India Inc’s bottom-line for Q2. The net profit of a sample of 1,455 companies (excluding banking and financial
institutions) rose 2.5% YoY after sliding 14.6% in the June 2017 quarter. Operating profit grew 10% YoY compared to
7.8% in the previous quarter. Net sales remain unchanged at 8.6%. Operating margin slipped 10 bps to 16.4%.
Performance of the following sectors improved - alcoholic beverages, automobiles, consumer durables and non-
durables, hospitality, jewellery, media and entertainment and retail capturing the consumption momentum. Net profit of
a sample of 219 firms from these sectors surged 32.6%, the fastest in the last six quarters. The sample’s contribution of
22.4% to the larger sample’s profit was at a 11-quarter high.
After inclusion of banking and finance firms, the sample size of 1,844 companies reported a growth of 7.9% in net sales.
Net profit, however, fell by 0.5% following higher provision by some of the banks. In short, green shoots in corporate
India are visible because of this being a quarter of recovery. Consumption as a theme makes a strong comeback and last
but not the least, consumer led sectors have a bigger share.
The market remains under the influence of politics and economic activity is put on the back burner. Hesitancy is visible
in the intra-day swings. RaGa’s honeymoon with Hardik Patel is seen as an influencing development. Gujarat elections
are viewed as mini general elections till the eve of 14 December 2017 opinion polls will hold sway.
Politically, the market takes a very narrow view that any upset in the political arena could jeopardize this rally or
reverse it. What the market ignores is the bigger picture that whoever wins the election has to take the nation into
confidence and stay on the growth path. Any deviation from it is punishable and this is the bottom-line of the political
message.
The government is determined to iron out the hardships of GST and its implications. It has been proactive to rationalize
rates and make it a win–win situation both for consumers and manufacturers. Companies with sectors which stand to

Breakout above 33900 essential


By Hitendra Vasudeo
Sensex Daily Trend DRV Weekly Trend WRV Monthly Trend MRV
Last Close 33679 Up 33198 Up 31957 Up 28877
Last week, the Sensex opened at 33365.84, attained a low at 33288.21 and moved to a high of 33738.53 before it closed
the week at 33679.23 and thereby showed a net rise of 336 points on a week-to-week basis.
Daily Chart
On the daily line chart, the chart created by joining closings
shows an uptrend. But on the candlestick chart, we see an
indecisive movement on account of volatility. A clear intra-
day bull market has not been witnessed as all of last week
bore a doji family candle pattern.
The Doji family candle is an indecisive movement accounting
to resistance and supply at a higher range especially when a
peak is already registered earlier at 33865.
The Sensex was trading in the supply zone last week from
33531 to 33865. A decisive breakout and close is required
now to move towards the expected 36000 by December 2017.
Supply will be a regular feature and the Sensex needs a strong
control on the daily chart to race higher. Failure to sustain at

A Time Communications Publication 3


the higher level could lead to a correction or sideways volatility above 32683.
As long as 32683 is not violated with a bearish candle, a correction to the lower level of 33278-33164 or to the DRV of
33198 could be for consolidation to eventually provide a breakout for the next rally.
Weekly Chart:
After a long legged doji two weeks back, last week was a positive candle suggesting that a breakout could be happening.
A weekly candle invokes confidence whereas the daily chart shows hesistancy for future momentum.
A breakout and weekly close above 33865 with a bullish candle can set a rally to 34500 and 35700. The Sensex needs a
trigger for the next sharp and swift rise.
A positive news trigger can help the market for a breakout and less positive or neutral news flow may halt the progress
or continue sideways volatility.

A breakout was witnessed on the Small-Cap index but it will require a follow-up rise above 18100. Expect 18500 and
19400.
Strategy for the week
A hesitant rise continued last week and is yet to provide the next breakout. A breakout and close above 33900 can set
the rally to 34500 and 35700. Hold long and accumulate on a correction to 33568-33398 with a stop loss of 32600.

PGIL has minimal amount of debt and a good working capital cycle, which indicates its operational efficiency. It is
undergoing capacity expansion in South India at an investment of ~Rs.20-27 crore funded through internal accruals and
a TUFS (Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme) loan. The new facilities will enhance its cumulative production capacity
to 5.5 million pieces a month through an addition of 1,300 machines to reach 9,800 machines across India, Bangladesh
and Indonesia. It plans to install 500 new machines in Bangalore, adding 1,80,000 garment pieces a month. At Chennai, it
installed an additional capacity of 800 new machines, which were commissioned in December 2015. In Bangalore, it has
a 60,000 sq.ft. facility on long-term lease while in Chennai, it acquired a 4.72 acre contiguous land parcel on which it
built a facility to manufacture an additional 2,00,000 pieces a month.
With South India fast emerging as the new garment manufacturing hub of India, the proposed capex is expected to help
PGIL reduce its geographic concentration risk by diversifying operations across North and South India. The Southern
market is known for certain fabrics and skilled labor, higher output, lower wage cost, low attrition levels, low rejection
and special expertise in woven, which provides good operational flexibility.

or speciality tyres for mining, quarrying, rock excavation, construction and port applications.
Ceat’s Q2FY18 revenue declined 4.6% YoY to Rs.15230 mn (estimated Rs.17515 mn). EBITDA declined to Rs.1747 mn
(estimated Rs.1839 mn) while margin was flat at 11.5% (estimated 10.5%), as overall revenue in the quarter was netted
off against excise. Exceptional item of Rs.80 mn was on account of VRS (Voluntary Retirement Scheme) to employees.
Consequently, PAT fell 26.8% YoY to Rs.779 mn (estimated Rs.921 mn).

Raw material prices declined 520 bps QoQ on a comparable basis (post excise net-off) in Q2FY18, after rising 260 bps
QoQ in Q1FY18. Exports also suffered in H1 on account of an appreciating Rupee, foreign currency unavailability in
Egypt and political unrest in countries like Kenya and Indonesia. However, with raw material prices and currency
gaining stability and restocking picking up pace from September 2017, Ceat is set to recover the lost growth of H1 in
H2FY18. Moreover, it undertook strict control over discretionary expenses, reducing other expenses by 300 bps QoQ in
Q2FY18.
Ceat holds ~30% and ~10% market share in 2-wheeler and passenger car replacement markets respectively. With a
capex of Rs.28 bn until FY20 to ramp-up facilities at Halol, Nagpur and Ambernath (40 tonnes/day) and improved
engagement with OEMs, Ceat is set to bolster its market share.
Ceat is expected to see a strong recovery post a muted H1FY18 as the macro factors align well. We expect revenue/PAT
CAGR of 6%/12% over FY17-19E. We value the company at a P/E of 18x FY19E EPS.
Technical Outlook: The Ceat stock looks very good on the daily chart for medium-term investment. It has formed a
rounding bottom pattern on the daily chart and a breakout with good volumes at Rs.1950 can move the stock to a higher
level. The stock trades above all important 200 DMA levels on the daily chart.
Start accumulating at this level of Rs.1821 and on dips to Rs.1751 for medium-to-long-term investment and a possible

IDFC Bank: Banker for ‘Millennials’


(BSE Code: 539437) (CMP: Rs.54.75) (FV: Rs.10)
IDFC Bank (IDFCB) was demerged from IDFC Ltd in 2015 to foray into the banking business. It opened 23 branches
across India by October 2015. Today, it has over 300 branches with 8,613 Points of Presence (PoP) across 20 states that
service 1.4 million customers. Of the 8,613 PoP, 1,000 units are Micro ATMs, 74 are its own branches while 306 are from
the acquisition of Grama Vidiyal. From its 1.4 million client base, 663 are corporate customers. It added 119 new
customers during FY17.
The IDFCB stock, which hit the capital market in November 2015, paved the way for investors to unlock the value of
their investments. The Bank aims to gain pan India presence through the inorganic route. Its recent acquisition of a
micro finance institution will give access to a large customer base, which in turn will strengthen its retail banking. It
aims to become a mass retail bank in five years by leveraging a loyal customer base of 1 million and cross-selling
products and improve profitability by getting access to lower cost of funds.
The Bank reported a stable RoA of 1% during FY17, which is expected to improve on the back of the business initiatives
taken by the management such as focusing on improving CASA ratio and fee-based income. The management has strong
views on corporate banking through tie-ups.
Currently, the IDFCB stock is valued at a P/BV of 1.2x and 1.1x on FY18E and FY19E respectively, which is quite
compelling and attractive in the private banking sector. The Bank has just started its journey and bright prospects,
improving asset quality, better operational metrics, improving RoA and higher profit growth will lead to re-rating of the
stock and multiply its valuation in the years to come. Accumulate the stock for excellent double-digit returns in the next
1-2 years with limited downside.

By Rahul Sharma
Company Background: Incorporated in 1989, Nagreeka Exports Ltd (NEL) is the flagship company of the Nagreeka
group, promoted by Mr. I. L. Patwari and family. Led by Mr. Sushil Patwari, Chairman, NEL is engaged in the manufacture
and export of cotton yarn and other merchandise. Its principal business activities include cotton yarn spinning (77.12%
of total revenue) and fabric knitting (12.91%). The balance revenue is generated from other merchandise products. It is
engaged in the business of trading cotton yarn and various commodities and is also a merchant exporter. Its products
include cotton yarns including combed, carded, open end and compact yarns; speciality yarns such as organic yarns, slub

yarns, core spun yarns, poly viscose blends, polyester cotton blends, viscose cotton blends and organic slub yarns. It
supplies a range of fabrics in open width as well as tubular body diameter.
NEL has set up a 100% export oriented unit (EOU) with a state-of-the-art plant at Kolhapur in Maharashtra, which has a
manufacturing capacity of 55,440 spindles. It has also set up a yarn dying and cotton bleaching plant at Kagal Kolhapur.
Exports constitute over 50% of its turnover. It exports to Korea, Mauritius, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Italy, Bangladesh,
Turkey, Cyprus, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Malaysia, Dominican Republic, etc. It was also awarded the
International Standard Organization certificate for its export performance.
Industry Outlook: The Indian cotton textile industry will continue to grow along with the rising consumption of textile
and yarn products in India and abroad. NEL will also benefit from foreign exchange fluctuations. India’s GDP is expected
to grow at 7.2% in 2017-18 and the textile sector is one of the largest contributors to India’s exports (~11% of the total
exports). GST benefits for the textile industry will help boost the demand for the cotton textile industry. The Indian
textile and yarn industries are expected to grow rapidly over the next 4-5 years. Government initiatives like the Pradhan
Mantri Credit Scheme, providing margin money subsidy for knitwear projects, setting up new knitwear services centers
on the PPP model, etc. will boost the knitting industry thereby benefitting NEL.

A Time Communications Publication 11


AABL manufactures the following brands on a contract basis - Smirnoff Vodka, Captain Morgan Rum, HAIG Scotch
Whisky, Masterstroke Whisky, Glen Drummond Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Royal Classic Whisky. Its in-house brands
include Central Province Whiskey, Titanium Triple Distilled Vodka and Jamaican White Rum.
AABL has nearly three decades of expertise in the manufacture of fine liquors. It produces extra fine grade triple distilled
grain spirit, which is a popular feedstock for the manufacture of various domestic and international IMFL brands. It
manufactures spirits using grain as well as molasses. This allows it to shift from one source of raw material to another to
suit availability as well as price trends and also helps reduce the production cost.
Capacity: AABL’s distillery is located at Khodigram in Madhya Pradesh with capacity at 42 MLPA.
Expansion Plans: AABL has chalked out a huge greenfield expansion plan to capture the domestic and global demand
and serve all segments of alcohol ranging from country liquors to IMFL. It plans to set up a multi-pressure ENA plant, a
collector plant, a Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant and a 2 MW power plant. The management has stated that the
payback period for the capex incurred will be less than three years, which is excellent by any standard.
Multi-pressure ENA plant: AABL is setting up a multi-pressure ENA plant, which will replace the old plant and enhance
its production capacity from 42 MLPA currently to 65 MLPA. Multi-pressure ENA plants cut down the stages in the
manufacturing process and thus improve process efficiency.
CO2 plant: AABL is setting up a plant to collect, pressurize and sell CO2 to industries that use it as a feedstock. This
move will directly boost its bottom-line and generate another stream of revenue.
Financials: For FY17, AABL posted revenues of Rs.296.47 crore v/s Rs.287.52 crore in FY16. EBITDA grew to Rs.42.72
crore from Rs.38.65 crore in FY16 while PAT climbed to Rs.17.38 crore v/s Rs.14.29 core in FY16. EBITDA margin
improved from 13.44% to 14.41%. Its EPS was Rs.9.6. Debt:Equity ratio fell from 0.3x to 0.16x. Finance cost fell from
Rs.5.19 crore to Rs.4.04 crore. Long-term borrowings halved to Rs.8.22 crore.
AABL has never defaulted in interest payment or repayment of loans. With an equity capital of Rs.18.08 crore and
reserves of Rs.80.20 crore, its share book value works out to Rs.54.36. If H1 earnings are added, its current share book
value works out to ~Rs.65.
During Q1FY18, AABL posted an EPS of Rs.4.09. If its earnings continue to improve, it would not be unreasonable to
expect an EPS of around Rs.20+ for FY18. This figure does not take into consideration the benefits of the on-going
expansion. Its improving top-line and bottom-line indicate that the company is at an inflexion point.
Bonus: AABL issued a 1:1 bonus in FY16.
Shareholding Pattern: The promoters hold 58.45% of the equity capital and none of its holding is pledged. Banks
and Institutions hold 0.7% stake, Bodies Corporate hold 19.43% and NRIs hold 0.96%, which leaves just 20.46% as the
floating stock.
Market potential rediscovered: Lifestyle transformation is possibly emerging as one of the biggest opportunities in
India and the spirits industry is at the apex of this transformation. India represents one of the most compelling large
spirit markets in the world and the country’s per capita alcohol consumption is a fraction of the global average.
However, per capita income grew significantly in the last one year. With the improvement in the Indian economy and
increase in surplus liquidity, especially in the hands of the rural population, the demand for the entire industry looks
promising.
Huge Land Bank: AABL has a huge land bank of about 135 acres, which is sufficient to meet all its expansion plans. This
land bank was acquired three decades back.
Long-term growth plans: AABL is enhancing its distillery capacity from 3 crore litres p.a. to 7 crore litres p.a. in the
coming years. This Rs.80 crore expansion will consume 10 acre land and is expected to be fully on stream in FY21. The
capex will double its ENA capacity with a 50% rise in asset investment and thereby strengthen its overall
competitiveness.
Post expansion, AABL intends to consume 60% of its ENA production to manufacture country liquor (captive value-
addition), 20% to manufacture IMFL and the balance in merchant sales to a large customer. In view of this proposed
material allocation, its incremental production is virtually pre-sold.
Post Expansion Power Play: Post expansion, AABL expects to emerge as one of the largest ENA manufacturers in India
with one of the lowest manufacturing costs and an effective volume-value play, which will accelerate its competitiveness
and profitability.
Conclusion: There is no ambiguity that the company’s intrinsic worth is far more than what meets the eye. AABL as
well as the industry have a bright future outlook.

MOODY’S CHANGES THE MOOD


By Laxmikant Bhole
I have maintained my bullish stance on the Indian equity markets for a while now on the back of solid structural reforms
carried out by the Government of India (GoI), which was also engraved by leading rating agency Moody’s last week.
Extreme pessimism displayed by many critics has now turned positive after Moody’s endorsed (GoI’s) efforts and
upgraded India’s sovereign rating from Baa3 to Baa2 after 13 long years on the back of improved growth prospects
driven by economic and institutional reforms. With this upgrade, India has now advanced a step in the investment
destination journey and shortened its distance with China. Moody’s upgrade is really a vindication of the efforts being
undertaken by Team Modi and has given a tight slap to its critics once again and another economic victory to the Modi
government. The earlier rating of Baa3 was just above the junk rating and this upgrade has put India in a strong position
in the world market and within the investor community, especially at a time when China was downgraded by Standard &
Poor’s (S&P) recently. This puts India in line with Philippines, Italy, Spain and Bulgaria, Philippines is the only other
Baa2 rated country in Asia. India is ahead of other BRICS countries except China where the difference is now of 3
notches. Further, Moody’s has changed its outlook on the country to stable from positive. India’s short-term local
currency rating has also been changed to P-2 from P-3. It was Vajpayee’s government in power last time when Moody’s
upgraded India to Baa3 from the junk status earlier in 2004.
Moody’s has thus given a thumbs-up to a slew of reforms from demonetisation, Aadhar-UID, GST and PSU bank
recapitalisation. The firm mentioned that the implementation of GST will boost productivity by removing barriers to
interstate trade. It also credited the government’s efforts with the Aadhaar system of biometric accounts and targeted
delivery of benefits through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, which will lead to reduction of leakages in the
system. It believes that the reforms implemented to date will advance the government's objective of improving the
business climate, enhancing productivity, stimulate foreign and domestic investment and ultimately foster strong and
sustainable growth. The reform programme will thus complement the existing shock-absorbance capacity provided by
India's strong growth potential and improving global competitiveness. Moody's also believes that the recent reforms
impart great confidence and the high level of public indebtedness, which is India's principal credit weakness, will remain
stable even in the event of shocks and will ultimately decline. General government debt stood at 68% of the country’s
GDP in 2016, significantly higher than the Baa median of 44%.
There are many benefits to be seen on the back of this upgrade - Rating Meaning

globally and improve the sentiment related to ‘ease of doing
business’ significantly. 4) Lastly, it will boost the investor sentiment in the equity market as significant FII flows are
expected in the markets in the long run, which will further boost the liquidity.
Going forward, I see a transformational bull run in the market in coming years and equity markets will certainly prove to
be the next ‘Gold’ for investors in the long run.
As I have re-iterated in past articles, the Indian economy is at an inflection point. Buoyed by improved macroeconomic
data and international ratings for India, the markets are expected to maintain an upward trajectory. Even though short-

term profit-booking could drag the markets intermittently, a structural bull run is here to stay for long. While these are
reasons to celebrate, Moody’s has put out a caveat that it will watch out for any deterioration of the fiscal situation or
banking system going forward. This makes the government’s job tougher and any downgrade from hereon will not go
down well with the investor community. But for now, let’s enjoy the positive news. Kudos to Modinomics!

MARKET REVIEW

Equity market to maintain uptrend


By Devendra A Singh
The Sensex gained 336.44 points to settle at 33679.24 while the Nifty closed at 10389.70 rising 106.10 points for the
week ending Friday, 24 November 2017.
On the macro-economic front, Wholesale Price Inflation (WPI) accelerated to 3.59% in October 2017, a six-month high
driven by higher food prices. Food inflation quickened to 3.23% in October 2017 from 1.99% in September 2017. Among
the food items, vegetables prices were up 36.61% YoY. Consumer inflation in October 2017 rose to 3.58% from a year
earlier. Retail inflation rose to a seven-month high in October 2017, driven by a faster rise in the prices of food and fuel
products thereby dampening chances of an interest rate cut by the RBI next month.
Moody's has upgraded India's sovereign credit rating by a notch to Baa2 with a stable outlook citing improved growth
prospects driven by economic and institutional reforms. The decision to upgrade the ratings is underpinned by Moody's
expectation that continued progress on economic and institutional reforms will over time enhance India's high growth
potential and its large and stable financing base for government debt and will likely contribute to a gradual decline in
the general government debt burden over the medium term. Moody's expects GDP growth to moderate to 6.7% in FY18.
However, real GDP growth will rise to 7.5% next fiscal with similarly robust levels of growth from FY19 onward.

MARKET OUTLOOK

Bulls want Nifty to cross 10450


By Rohan Nalavade
Last week, the Nifty moved in a tight range of 10300-10400. It needs to cross the 10450 mark on a closing basis to gain
strong momentum and also protect 10300 on a closing basis. Below 10300, selling pressure will be witnessed.
This week is the F&O expiry of the November series on Thursday, 30 November 2017. If the Nifty closes above 10343,
which was the close of the October F&O series, then it can be taken as a positive signal for an upside.
Crude oil prices are on the rise and hence, petrol and diesel prices will also rise leading to higher inflation. Hence, the
RBI may not cut interest rates further and the banking sector will start reacting from this week. In fact, PSU banks have
started showing weakness. The metal sector is also showing weakness along with the oil & gas sector.
The Gujarat election exit poll will start in the first week of December. It is important for the BJP to win a full majority for
the uptrend to continue. If the BJP faces a tough fight from the Congress, the market could react negatively.
 Nifty Spot is a ‘sell’ below 10380 for downside levels of 10350-10300 (SL: 10410)
 Nifty Spot is a ‘buy’ above 10400 for upside levels of 10440-10460 (SL: 10378)
 Hindalco Industries looks weak below Rs.256 for downside levels of Rs.250-248-242 (SL: Rs.260)
 ICICI Bank looks weak below Rs.315 for downside levels of Rs.310-305-300 (SL: Rs.325)
 Reliance Industries looks weak below Rs.946 for downside levels of Rs.935-930 (SL: Rs.961)
 ITC looks good above Rs.260 for upside levels of Rs.265-270 (SL: Rs.255)

(BSE Code: 533023) (CMP: Rs.6899.60) (FV: Rs.5)
Wabco India Ltd (WIL), formerly WABCO-TVS India, connects with global OEMs (original equipment manufacturers)
through five manufacturing sites located in Ambattur, Jamshedpur, Mahindra World City (Chennai), Pantnagar and
Lucknow. It was incorporated in November 2004 as Auto (India) Engineering Ltd as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Sundaram Clayton Ltd. In April 2007, its name was changed to WABCO-TVS India Ltd. In 2011, it changed its name to
Wabco India Ltd.

During FY08, WIL commenced operations in its new manufacturing facility in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at
'Mahindra World City' near Chennai. It also entered into a scheme with Sundaram Clayton by which it took over the
Brakes business of the latter with effect from January 2007.
In June 2009, WABCO Holdings Inc, USA, a global technology leader and tier-I supplier to the CV (commercial vehicles)
industry, raised its ownership position to 75% through its indirectly owned subsidiary Clayton Dewandre Holdings Ltd,
Rotterdam, which acquired 67,95,684 equity shares of the Indian promoters i.e. the TVS group, constituting 35.83% of
the paid up capital of the company. WIL thus became a subsidiary of Clayton Dewandre Holdings Ltd. In February 2010,
it entered into an agreement with Mahindra Navistar Automotives Ltd for the development and long-term supply of air
compressor technology products for braking systems and clutch servo technology with series production starting in
2010.
